Start Up of Perkins Generator Set In Winter

Jan. 13, 2022

Due to the low temperature in winter, the starting mode of Perkins generator set for engineering construction should also be adjusted. For example, the generator set shall be pre lubricated before startup, water shall not be added after startup, and the generator set shall be preheated in winter. Specific content: introduction to Dingbo power!


1. Pre lubrication before startup of Perkins generator set for project construction.

When the unit is shut down, most of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil passage and on the surface of the friction parts flows back to the suction pan. In order to reduce motion wear, make the throttle handle in the closed position before starting, rotate the crankshaft several times, and then start again.

2. Do not start before adding water.

Generally, the cooling water should be drained after the unit is shut down in winter. When starting the next day, some operators start it first and then add water in order to make it start. This method is harmful. When the generator set is started, the temperature of four rooms in the combustion chamber is as high as 1700-2000 ℃. If cooling water is added immediately at this time, it is easy to cause cracking of cylinder head, engine body, water tank and other parts.


3. Perkins generator set for project construction shall be preheated in winter.

The engine oil is viscous in winter, which is easy to cause difficulty in starting. Before starting, add hot water of about 80 ℃ into the water tank, which is not only convenient for starting, but also prolongs the service life of the engine.


4. Control the throttle correctly.

Generally, when the air temperature is below 15 ℃, it is appropriate to control the throttle slightly higher than the idle speed when starting the engine; When the temperature is above 15 ℃, do not use the oil filler valve at first. After idling the crankshaft for several revolutions, add a small throttle to start. If you start with a large throttle and fail to start several times, you must immediately turn off the throttle and start the engine. When you see that there is no black smoke from the exhaust pipe, add a small throttle. In addition, after the large throttle is started, the medium and small throttle should be fully preheated. Especially in winter, it usually takes 5-8 minutes. Start when the water temperature rises to 40 ℃, and put into operation when the water temperature reaches 60 ℃.


In addition, it is also easy to damage the cylinder gasket, crankshaft oil seal and broken valve spring of Perkins generator set for engineering construction. Don't turn off the engine immediately when parking in winter. During shutdown in winter, the ambient temperature is low, while the body temperature is generally about 90 ℃. In the case of large temperature difference, if the engine is shut down and water is discharged immediately, it is easy to crack the engine body, cylinder head, water tank and other parts. The correct way is to idle at the low throttle position for 5-10 minutes, turn off the engine and drain water when the standby temperature drops to 50-70 ℃.


Reasons for choosing Perkins engine:

1. Diesel engines are produced by Perkins in the USA and UK;

2. The engine adopts European and American technology and wear-resistant materials to ensure;

3. Low fuel consumption, stable performance, convenient maintenance, low operation cost and low emission;

4. Clean and quiet, with low noise level;

5. The engine can run without fault for up to 6000 hours;

6. The engine is provided with a standard two-year warranty, and the manufacturer has confidence in the durability and reliability of the machine.
